We have spent two weeks discussing Ireland, her relationship with the UK, and the lives and works of two famous Irish writers--James Joyce and W. B. Yeats. In the following link, you can listen to an interview with Ireland's first female president and a former United Nations high commissioner--Mary Robinson. In this interview, she talks about Ireland's social class gap, gender imbalance, Catholicism, the transformation of Ireland, and her advocation for "climate justice." Listen to the story and write down anything that inspires or interests you in this interview.
